Former U.S. President Trump met with former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh to discuss the possibility of replacing current Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell ahead of schedule. Warsh advised Trump not to interfere with Powell's term. Powell's term lasts until May 2026, and Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with his interest rate policies, having publicly called for rate cuts. Trump stated that if he wanted Powell to step down, he would do so quickly. Powell's independence is under scrutiny, and any political interference could impact the U.S. financial markets
